Starting from 2-vinylbenzoic acid methyl ester and derivatives, 3-hydroxymethylisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one and derivatives were prepared through hydrolysis of esters, followed by epoxidation with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, cyclization reaction catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid; then nucleophilic substitution with phosphorus tribromide or tosyl chloride and elimination reaction, 3-methyleneisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one and their derivatives were synthesized. The yield of tosyl chloride method was higher than phosphorus tribromide method in the nucleophilic substitution and elimination reaction. Ten target products and intermediates are new compounds. Their structures were characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, MS and IR techniques. The target products did not dimerize in air over a few weeks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
